    The TV sitting down on tv entertainment unit for few yers. Later, it was installed on wall mount. After one year installed on wall mount, the screen started to come off from the top side of the tv and screen was disrupted with all sorts of vetical lines. Very poor design that affected the tv screen becasue of haning on the wall mount. The TV could'nt withstand it own weight and screen separated on top side.

    Overall good picture quality; however TV's quality is left for desire. It's dead after 2 years and 4 months, and upon my research, many of Samsung TVs have the same issues and they're not doing anything about it. I'll stay away from ALL Samsung's products from now and get rid of my current Samsung's cr@p!!!

    I have owned this TV for over a year now and it is definitely worth every penny! My DirecTV and PS Pro video quality is amazing and the sound is fantastic. Voice control feature from the remote is a great option esp for the kids. Only took me half a year to try it lol. Anyone looking for their next TV should without a doubt get this one. Also is very easy to clean, no cleaner needed. Microfiber cltoh does wonder. Fantastic Job Samsung.

    Bought last March 2017. I am new to Samsung Smart TV with so many features that work itself in advanced technology. Sometimes, I got stuck with Netflix or connect internet, etc, I go to chat live with customer service for assisting the issue. Customer service staff are trained very well to explain how to solve the problem right away. Great job, customer service. I'm learning new thing about Smart TV, cool. So far, I should be satisfied the new Smart TV. There is always newer TV in few months.

    Our TV was not a year old when while watching tv the screen went black and it began to turn on and off continuously. You could not use the menu button or power button. The TV had to be physically unplugged to stop it. Dealing with Samsung support has been anything but a pleasant experience. Our first claim was cancelled for some reason that couldn't be explained. As a result I had to literally go through the process all over again that took another 30 minutes talking to someone that was very hard to understand. 2 1/2 weeks later and we are still waiting on the repair. This is the second Samsung TV that has had issues in its one year mark. In 30 years I have never owned TV's that had consistently had issues early on. I don't think I would ever purchase another Samsung product as a result.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
